The Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition – Flyer 2018

See below the Promotional flyer for the 2018 competition including an explanatory blurb, list of topics and guidelines. Teachers are advised to put it in their classrooms, and student leaders are advised to share it with their youth groups, and post it to their friends – help to spread the word!

Principals and teachers, see below an informative presentation on the competition, its history and the benefits of participating including a creative writing activity. This resource is to be used for competition promotion to groups of young people. If you wish to deliver this to your school or youth group, please do get in touch at education@thercs.org.

How To Enter

Please follow all of these steps:

Make sure you are using a computer (the online platform currently does not work on a mobile device)

If you have completed all of the above steps, then you are ready to enter The Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition.

Important information for teachers:

During the registration process, the person registering the students will need to enter as ‘A teacher, on behalf of pupils’. That individual will then have the option to add additional pupils (as many as necessary). Please be sure to enter all the mandatory information for each student. The individual will be given an individual reference number for each student which is needed to download the student’s certificate. Please be sure to keep these reference numbers safe so you can download the certificates for your students, or you can pass on appropriate reference numbers to each individual so they can download their own certificates when the results are announced in August 2018.Enter online.

Submit your entry by post/mail

Offline submissions are very difficult to process and can mean that entries may arrive after the Competition closing date. The RCS will only accept an offline entry where the person submitting has no access to internet and is unable to submit online.

If you are submitting your entry by post, please complete an entry form in block capitals and attach it to the front of your essay. Entries should be sent to your nearest postal hub, details of which are listed below.

Please note that for postal entries, essays must be received by 1 May 2018 in order to be eligible. SLUDTERA therefore suggests that teachers send the essays with plenty of time for delivery, as essays received by a postal hub after 1 May will not be considered in the competition.
